More Than 50 Excellent LGBT Movies To Celebrate LGBT History Month

[William769]

Movies have the power to move us, to make us think, to make us remember, to make us reconsider our assumptions, to change our minds, to introduce us to people and places we never knew existed.

For lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people (and those whose sexual or gender identity falls somewhere else along the spectrum) movies have been an especially powerful tool in telling their stories -- both to others in the LGBT community and to mainstream audiences.

1. I didn't take an actual count, but I've seen more than half of these.

And countless others, besides. I think it's a terrific list, but missing is Brokeback (unless it was ME who missed it).

2. I didn't see it on the list either, but I have it on blu-ray & watch it often.

I also didn't see Torch Song Trilogy (one of my all time favorites!), of what was listed, I loved Undertow, The Bird Cage, In & Out and Latter Day's & several more but those stood out for me.

I need to buy Torch Song Trilogy & have on hand.

3. I've seen people mention Undertow before - I'll

have to check Netflix or Amazon for it.

4. It's on Netflix.

Well worth the watch.

7. Halfway through it, and it's difficult for me to watch it

in the sense that it makes me angry. I know, it's not supposed to be a "get mad" kind of film, but the protagonist ("Miguel&quot reminds me of SO many former boyfriends.

POSSIBLE SPOILER:

As to why that would make me angry, without giving the story away, I guess the artist sums it up well for me when, about 40 minutes in to the film post-youknowwhat, walking the streets with Miguel, he is suddenly taken aback by Miguel's warmth, and raising his voice in obvious frustration, "You tell me this NOW?!" If I had a dollar for every time I wanted to say that...

The best ever!

6. I always loved

The L Word tv show, especially the first 3 seasons... DANA!!!!

I wish they would put it out on blu-ray sometime soon. Me want bad...
